„In this Qinhuai River crowded, extremely busy, must not breed this thing to be right.” Sinks down hears word, the doubts said. “这秦淮河上人来人往,热闹非凡,应当不会孕育出此物才对。”沈落闻言,疑惑道。 „This matter I also feel the fishy, but the human affairs is difficult to predict, some surprises are not unusual. In this Qinhuai River many unhappy couples, in the past years jumped into deep water dead the humanities to be many, the air/Qi of Yin ghost not necessarily were also few.” Bewitches saying that horse surface thinks little. “此事我也觉得蹊跷,不过世事难料,有些意外之事也不稀奇。况且这秦淮河上多怨偶,历年投水而死之人本就不少,阴煞之气也未必就少了。”勾魂马面不以为意的说道。 „But this town/subdues river water beast is not used to keep off the ghost, how can turn into the water ghost?” Sinks down and asks. “可这镇河水兽本来不就是用来挡煞的么,怎么会自己变成水煞？”沈落又问道。 „Good, this gadget was used to keep off the ghost disaster, in the Jianye city 24 bridge heads, have one respectively, but other all does not have the difference, only then Zhenhuaiqiao here has problems. This town/subdues river water carcasses domestic waters ghost occupies, swallows the Qinhuai frogman unexpectedly wantonly, even controls them to jump into deep water attractively, disrupts the Yin-Yang two, really damn.” The horse surface is saying, the anger then came up, filled big liquor water fiercely. “不错,这玩意儿本来是用来挡煞化灾的,建邺城里二十四座桥头,分别都有一座,只是其他的全都没有异样,只有镇淮桥这里出了问题。这镇河水兽体内水煞盘踞,竟然大肆吞食秦淮水鬼,甚至控制它们诱人投水,扰乱阴阳两界,实在该死。”马面说着,火气便上来了,又猛灌了一大口酒水。 „Pitifully finally ran away part.” Sinks down sighs to say. “可惜最后还是给它逃走了一部分。”沈落叹了口气说道。 horse surface hears word, the look somewhat is slightly unusual, said suddenly 马面闻言,神色微微有些异样,却忽然说道 „After tomorrow sunset, you come to here to look for me again, I will make you help me work, when the time comes naturally can have the thanks.” “明天日落以后,你再来这里找我,我会让你帮我做点事情,到时候自然会有答谢。” „Does not know that works?” In Shen Luoxin moves asks. “不知是做什么事？”沈落心中一动问道。 „Tomorrow came, you naturally knew.” Bewitches horse surface actually not to plan to explain, after a language said that the liquor bottle gourd in the hand squeezes in the sleeve, first step set out to leave. “明天来了,你自然就知道了。”勾魂马面却不打算多做解释,一语说罢后,将手中酒葫芦塞入袖中,先一步起身离开了。 Sinks down has mind filled with the doubts toward Bai Jia hurries back, in the heart thinks of the incident suddenly, cannot bear muttering „millenniums later, will bewitch horse surface to recognize me, should not because of the matter of today?” 沈落满腹疑惑的朝白家赶回去,心中忽然想到一事,忍不住喃喃自语道“千年以后,勾魂马面之所以会认得我,该不会就是因为今日之事吧？” „What he had added at that time, I am impossible also to live, this what's the matter?” This thought that he cannot help but more wants more to be afraid, only thought that the back cold sweat braves. “他当时还说过什么,我不可能还活着,这又是怎么回事？”这个念头一起,他不由得越想越害怕,只觉得背后冷汗直冒。 „No! Since knew ahead of time, I must not let this matter to repeat!” Sank down to pinch the fist layer on layer/heavily, in the heart set firm resolve. “不！既然提前知道了,我必不会让此事重演！”沈落重重捏了捏拳头,心中下定了决心。 ...... …… The 2nd day evening, sank down ended for day to practice, according to the word arrived at that secluded pavilion. 第二日傍晚,沈落结束了一天修行,依言来到了那座僻静凉亭。 He arrives at time, Sun has not fallen thoroughly, has not seen horse surface the form in in the pavilion, after waiting for a long time, the opposite party the long in coming, as before is the appearance of that young bookworm. 他到的时候,太阳还未彻底落下,在凉亭里并没有见到马面的身影,等了许久之后,对方才姗姗来迟,依旧是那副白面书生的模样。 „Good, but also calculates that is punctual.” The horse appearance light swept one to sink down, nods said. “不错,还算守时。”马面目光扫了一眼沈落,颔首说道。 „Senior wants me to do anything, now can always say.” Sinks down said. “前辈要我做些什么事,现在总可以说了吧。”沈落说道。 „Relax, is not the subdue demons except the dangerous matter of demon, but wants you to submerge in Chenghuangge, takes three columns to come for me fragrant.” The horse surface to sinking down beckons with the hand, serious saying. “放心,不是什么降妖除魔的危险事,只是要你潜入城隍阁里,替我取三柱香来。”马面冲沈落摆了摆手,一本正经的说道。 „Goes to Chenghuangge to rob the fragrance?” Sinks down also thinks oneself misunderstood, cannot bear ask. “去城隍阁盗香？”沈落还以为自己听错了,忍不住问道。 „What robber, is coarse, takes! Let you go to Chenghuangge to take three Chen Nianlao who received the incense and candle air/Qi invasion is fragrant.” The horse surface coughed lightly, said. “什么盗,多难听,是取！让你去城隍阁取三支受了香火气侵染的陈年老香。”马面轻咳了一声,说道。 Sank down frowning, the whole face was looking at horse surface pressed puzzled. 沈落蹙了蹙眉,满脸不解望着马面。 „Frankly, the day before yesterday I battled with the water ghost, received some internal injuries. The matter that but in the Jianye city, the hell explains at present must do, temporarily is unable to return heals from a wound, can only steal the incense and candle of tutelary god master, recuperates injury.” The horse surface slightly hesitates, answered. “实不相瞒,前日我与水煞交战,受了些暗伤。可眼下在建邺城中,还有地府交待下来的事要做,暂时无法返回养伤,只能盗取点城隍爷的香火,来调理伤势了。”马面略一迟疑,还是解释道。 „So that's how it is. Senior why do not borrow, actually wants the younger generation to take?” Sinks down nod looking pensive, but an intention revolution, thought of anything, asked. “原来如此。只是前辈为何不自己去借,却要晚辈去取？”沈落若有所思的点点头,但心念一转,又想到了什么,问道。 „Nonsense! I am the Yin deep body, the tutelary god the officer high first-order, is not quite naturally convenient.” The horse surface shows the whites of the eyes, said. “废话！我乃阴冥之躯,城隍又官高一阶,自然是不太方便。”马面翻了个白眼,说道。 Sinks down hears word, was still somewhat hesitant. 沈落闻言,仍是有些犹豫。 „Relax, you are the body of the world of the living, but takes three Chen fragrant who received the incense and candle, to the tutelary god master at all is not anything, at the worst burns incense wishing by the logistics, will not have what issue. So long as you completed this matter, I have thank again.” Sees with own eyes to sink down hesitant, some horse surface irritable urgings said. “放心吧,你乃阳世之身,不过是取三支受了香火的陈香,对城隍爷来说根本不算什么,大不了以后勤去上香祈愿,不会有什么问题的。只要你办妥此事,我定有重谢。”眼见沈落犹豫,马面有些急躁的催促说道。 Hears „thanks two characters again”, sinks down the heart to move slightly, in the mind appears the Buddhist musical instruments and immortal jade two nouns. 听到“重谢”二字,沈落心头不禁微动,脑海里不禁浮现出法器和仙玉两个名词。 Reward that he most wants at present, was this difference/two kinds. 他眼下最想要得到的酬谢,就是这两样了。 „Good, I help your one time.” Sinks down no longer hesitant, nods to say immediately. “好,我就帮你一次。”沈落不再犹豫,立即点头说道。 „Remember, is on the altar in the incense holder the color deepest aging old fragrant, must take not wrong.” The horse surface then relaxes , the urging said. “记住,是供桌上香筒里颜色最深的陈年旧香,莫要拿错了。”马面这才松了口气,又叮嘱道。 „Knew.” Sinks down complies with one, slides the half step ran. “知道了。”沈落答应一声,一溜小步的跑了出去。 The town god's temple in Jianye city, the area is quite broad, the contact believers are many, for many years the incense and candle was exuberant. 建邺城内的城隍庙,占地面积颇广,往来信众繁多,经年香火旺盛。 Sinks down rushes to the temple time, the weather thoroughly is unexpectedly dark, when an old temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies is planning to close the temple gate, was blocked by him, said that is came from far away, to give the tutelary god master burns incense, invests the incense and candle money. 沈落赶到庙内的时候,天色已竟彻底暗了,一位年长庙祝正打算关闭庙门时,被他拦了下来,说是自己远道而来,就为给城隍爷上一柱香,投个香火钱。 The temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies sees him to be sincere in words, then put him to go. 庙祝见他言辞恳切,便放他进去了。 Sank down in the palace, sees the present donation box, without delay, took out 12 money from the bosom, threw. 沈落到了殿内,看到眼前的功德箱,二话不说,从怀里取出十两银子,投了进去。 Nearby temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies also so natural pilgrim, looks rarely immediately beams with joy, is busy at approaching to take the fragrance for him. 一旁的庙祝也少见如此大方的香客,顿时看得眉开眼笑,忙主动上前为他取香。 „Burning incense, when brings on oneself, side Zhengxin is honest.” Sinks down to see that rushes to block, said. “焚香当自取,方证心诚。”沈落见状,赶忙拦下,说道。 Temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies hears Yansi feels rational, then drew back, is being sunk down itself to take the fragrance. 庙祝闻言似觉得有理,便退了回去,由着沈落自己去拿香。 Sinks down slightly turns in the incense holder looks, twists three color deep Chen fragrant from inside with great difficulty, in the income sleeve of maintaining composure, duplicate/restores picks up three color bright red devout hearts, in the going forward point. 沈落在香筒中略一翻找,好不容易从里面捻出三根颜色较深的陈香,不动声色的收入袖中,复又挑出三根颜色鲜红的心香,上前点上。 Going on a pilgrimage time, he has not sent to hope, but asked for mercy repeatedly, making the tutelary god master haggle over with him not. 进香的时候,他心里没有发愿,只是连声告罪,让城隍爷莫跟他计较。 Then, he then leaves the town god's temple, returned to that side the pavilion. 而后,他便离开城隍庙,又返回了凉亭那边。 „Good, good, is this thing.” The horse surface from sinking down the hand received three Chen fragrant, as if one had found a treasure, beams from ear to ear to say. “不错,不错,正是此物。”马面从沈落手上接过三支陈香,如获至宝,笑逐颜开道。 Then, he then takes three fragrances, before placing the nose, deeply smelled. 说罢,他便拿着三支香,放在鼻子前深深嗅了一下。 Sinks down then saw that three Chen fragrant has not clearly ignited, peak actually ignites a grain of scarlet luminous spot respectively, with the movement of horse surface inspiration, the combustion approached the fragrant tail fast. 沈落便看到,那三只陈香分明并未点火,顶端处却都各自燃起一粒猩红光点,随着马面吸气的动作,飞快燃烧向了香尾。 In three incense and candles emits the haze, did not remain is inhaled in the nose by the horse surface, on his face exuded a ruddy gloss immediately, the facial expression became is also very comfortable. 三支香火上冒出烟气,一点不剩地被马面吸入了鼻中,他的脸上随即泛起一层红润光泽,神情也变得十分舒爽起来。 After being overdone fragrance, is reduced to ashes immediately, scattered. 只是过火后的香支,立马化为了灰烬,飘散了开来。 „Is it possible that does the deity eat the incense and candle is such scene?” Sinks down stares the big eye to look at this, feels very surprisedly. “莫非神仙吃香火便是这样的光景？”沈落瞪大眼睛看着这一幕,也觉得十分惊奇。 „Good that matter manages, this then gives your reward, met.” The horse surface facial expression is very satisfactory, the leisure searching hand enters in the sleeve, takes out one three cuns (2.5 cm) to come the long black scroll, gives to sink down. “事情办的不错,这便是给你的报酬,接好了。”马面神情很是满意,慢条斯理的探手入袖中,取出一支三寸来长的黑色卷轴,递给沈落。 „Was not the immortal jade......” sinks down the line of sight to fall the instance on scroll, in the heart resounded a sigh. “不是仙玉……”沈落视线落在卷轴上的瞬间,心中就响起了一声叹息。 However, he holds a hope, is hoping this scroll is a Buddhist musical instrument. 不过,他还是抱有一丝希冀,盼望着这卷轴便是一件法器。 Sinks down to meet, opening, will see halfly believing and half doubting slowly a black silk book exposes at present, above writes crooked, the color bright red seal script handwriting, in the heart sank. 沈落接到手中,将信将疑地缓缓将之打开,就看到一张黑色帛书展露在了眼前,上面写着一个个歪七扭八,颜色鲜红的篆书字迹,心中不由一沉。 „Clever contract?” When he sees clearly several word-time in scroll peak, again in the eye has not concealed appears to wipe the disappointed look. “通灵契约？”当他看清卷轴顶端上的几个字时,眼中再也没有掩饰的浮现出一抹失望神色。 ( New book on the shelf to the second half month, the monthly ticket in fellow daoist hand have not forgotten to throw)
